Northern Lights

[LinvilleGorge]

Of all the times when I've been living in CO or VA and we were supposed to potentially be able to see the aurora I've never seen them. The times I've been to AK and you've supposed to have been able to see them it's been cloudy. I drove damn near to Talkeetna from Anchorage one night to try to find some clear sky and struck out.

Who would've thunk it that I'd finally see them in fuging North Carolina.

Off my deck:

From a buddy across town with a helluva lot better camera:

Nice! I don't know if we would have been able to see them down east even without the cloud cover last night.

Yep, I got really lucky and saw it too. I went out on the deck for a second to see if I could see the aurora and caught them coming over. Just pure luck.

I felt like an idiot after I went back to the ball field to show my wife I had just recorded my first UFO sighting. The lady she was talking to watched it also and informed me it was Star Link. It’s a video that I have, I didn’t upload it for you’ll to view because of my narration/amazement at what I was seeing.

I mean, if you don't realize what it is that's what you'd think.

I randomly got lucky as hell down at Hunting Island in SC and caught a Space X rocket launch while chilling on the beach drinking a beer at night. Now THAT was wild.

They look like this

It took me a few seconds to realize what it was but at first I didn't know whether to pray, poo myself, or just enjoy the last few moments of human civilization. LOL

There's supposed to be a chance to see the northern lights again tonight but it's starting to cloud up to the north of me again. Just my luck

Tomorrow night if it isn’t cloudy, is supposed to be as good as last night’s lights

It cleared up here around 10pm last night. The wife and I sat out on the deck for about an hour but there was no Aurora to be seen. Saw a bunch of satellites but that was it.
